For those who are unaware Talking Pictures (Ch 81 Freeview) is largely 1930's>1970's films plus quite a few TV series that the Elders of this site will remember.
My favs to start with;
Small Hotel 1957, charming and very funny film, I suspect it might of triggered off the idea for Falwty Towers. With Irene Handl as Mrs Gammon!
Don't Talk to Strange Men 1962 a very disturbing film, well ahead of society in discussing child abduction. End is a bit pony though.
The Boston Strangler 1968 Incredible use of split screen, creepy and chilling. Watched it about 6 times over covid, chilled me to the bone each time.
Girl with a Pistol 1968 Odd Italian honour killing film, set mainly in the UK with lots of familiar faces. Sort of surreal in an Italian way but captivating.
